But it had not been in Tess's power - nor is it in anybody's power - to feel the whole truth of golden opinions while it is possible to profit by them. She - and how many more - might have ironically said to God with Saint Augustine, "Thou hast counselled a better course than thou hast permitted."

With all due respect, your daughter just did what you nearly accomplished.

Never again, with intent, will I use the definite article in English as part of the name of the country I used to refer to as the Ukraine. (I will continue to do so in other languages where there is no choice in standard use.)

Harvard? Really? Does that beaming glow run through your entire family?

Did I mention I was and have been an early wikipedia donor?

You do realize I have made more than a few less than oblique comments that you are my favorite poster from Ukraine?

Just kidding.

From all signs you have an incredibly lovely and intelligent family. Congratulations and Many Years!

Wow! Had I known all you needed was a smile, I would have had 100 Ukrainians smile at you!

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

Thank you so much. Yes, all three of us - Lesya, Maryana, and I - have this habit of smiling most of the time. My students always like it, even if they get less-than-perfect grades from me.

Maryana has studied for ~4.5 years at Harvard, in a Ph.D. program at their Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. She has the "ABD" status ("all but dissertation"). However, right now her Wikipedia job consumes her so much that she does not do anything about her dissertation. Some time ago, it caused some frustration in her mom and me, but we got over it. After all, if she does not complete her Ph.D., she will still have her Master's degree from Harvard, which is already a nice achievement.

Also, her husband, Ryan, a lawyer by profession, is now a Ph.D. student at the UC Berkeley, so Maryana does not want to go back to East Coast. Looks like they like California very much, even though Maryana is from Ukraine and Ryan is from Texas.

Keep up that unabashed glee and I may never use the definite article ever again with Ukraine or otherwise!

Is your life so devoid of smiles that you would stoop to this level?

Oh, so that's what they mean by smile!

I have no idea why, but I just literally (I mean this in literal manner) almost urinated all over myself.

ROFLMAO!

Did you literally ROFLYAO?

Me in Thailand, getting some caffeine to keep up another long night of missionarying:You can't tell from the photo, but I'm totally doing the same face as the guy on the bottle. Also, there's a little more than a liter in that bottle, so feel free to fill in a Super Troopers reference there.

I imagine they are husband/wife. I know I would not be comfortable with compliments like that from a brother-in-law.

I married at 18 We celebrate 15 years of marriage this New Years Eve. I met my husband when I was 15 and he was 20 actually. About 18 years and (soon to be) 5 kids later, we couldn't be happier I think we are 1 of like 3 couple from my husband's former unit that are still married after two deployments. A lot of people say marrying young is doom for a marriage. I think meeting/marrying young can often result in a stronger marriage.
